The 72-Year-Old Yoga Star Defying The Myth of Aging
Think fast-paced, frenetic workout DVDs are the only way to stay in shape? Janice Lennard has a different approach. She wants you to slow down, way down, and learn how to go with the flow.
It’s a practice she’s spent her entire life perfecting. Now 72, Janice is inspiring people across the world with her graceful and inspiring yoga, Pilates and ballet workout DVDs. And just one year after undergoing total hip replacement, she’s living proof that it’s never too late to move and stretch your body beyond what you think is possible.
Find out how she’s been practicing what she preaches for more than 65 years.

Age is a state of mind! I'm a Realtor for 32 years, got my yoga teacher certification August 2019 at age 71 and last month passed the written exam in hypnotherapy - I've conducted 30 practice sessions. Whatever your dream, go for it! Thanks, Janice, for your shining example 🌹

Great! Yoga is the best on the world
I’m a 69 year old yoga and Pilates instructor and she is right on. Keep moving. An object in motion stays in motion. Yoga practiced religiously will enhance your quality of life, energize you, keep your immune system chugging away and lift your mood and vibration. Yoga can be practiced well into your later years and unlike other sports activities, it won’t take its toll on your body, it will strengthen it, literally down to your core. Namaste. 🙏

@@jenniesmythe8188 I think you’re totally right. People are so used to seeing unhealthy people that they immediately guess someone younger for health and fitness. A woman 45-55 should still look in her prime or just past it . It’s just that our unhealthy diet, sun exposure etc, cause so often pre mature aging. But her fitness and character are amazing. I think she looks good and healthy for the age she’s at. Just how it should be.

This is how people should be aging. Sadly, most people do not eat right, or even exercise. So many American's are overweight and lazy about their health. Taking a lot of perscription meds really breaks down the body faster. I am 72 and not on one medication. I am flexible also.

@@peelyb ..start somewhere..start with something..start with even a few yoga positions & do these with a relaxed intention..use props,pillows & blankets or towels to help you where its not yet comfortable or even possible to begin with... I'm doing this now,gentling nudging myself thru some chronic health issues,& I'm not judging or comparing myself to ithets more capable than I...even to my younger self of 5-10 years back,when yoga was almost effortless to me ! Now,I just try & I accomplish satisfaction from giving that time to myself without expecting to be at any particular level...I meditate & I do yoga asanas anyway I can,including utilising a chair.. All things make me feel good..first of all because I decided to try again & my 'wish' to be healthy needed to be preceded by an intention to improve my health bit by bit & not give in to that voice that would tell me.. ' I can't..what's the use..I'm too old..(69)..I'm not fit enough, I'm not healthy...' So 2 months ago,I started again at the very beginning.. Re-learning anew to hold the postures the correct way ,slow & easy ,in this actual body I inhabit now.. I feel so much better because I'm doing something & my focus is not on how poor my health is ,but how I can see & feel important changes from my effort. As she says..just relax & do whatever you can as your body allows....

I’m 54 and I do gentle yoga and the Tibetan rites every morning, walk, do knee, shoulder, and back exercises. I also do strengthening exercises, protect my joints, eat simple balanced meals, stay connected with people I love, and make myself happy. I have to do a lot more health maintenance now than when I was younger and it’s very very time consuming. Most important thing to staying healthy as we age is both mental and physical. And also, do everything in moderation or you’ll ruin your joints the way I’ve seen people do if they are weightlifters or runners. And remember, stay flexible, strengthen your muscles, and protect your joints!

Oh my gosh, I forgot all about the Tibetan Rites! But earlier tonight I did one out of nowhere because I suddenly just felt like it. And now here I am reading your comment! I'm taking it as a sign to do the Tibetan Rites again. I like the idea of doing it every morning. Thank you for your comment--it makes me feel very calm and strong reading it. I'm a few years behind you and need good examples from which to draw inspiration, so thank you!

She’s a sweet person. You can sense it. I’m 68 and practice yoga most days! I t will keep you feeling open and youthful 😊
She was a ballet dancer, I would argue ballet dancers are even more flexible than Yoga practitioners in some position. But She had hip replacement so that level of flexibility is amazing.
Go slowly, respect your body’s limits and listen to its innate wisdom. The more you do yoga, the more you’ll have access to that intuitive sense of what’s good for you and what isn’t. your practice is time to feel alive, cherished, and in control! 🙏💖

Dear Ms. Lennard, you inspire me more than I can express! I have been practicing yoga asana since 1973. I earned my RYT-200 in the early 1980's. During all the intervening years, I have never actually seen a person your age perform with such skill and grace. I hope to do the same. Namaste.
